With only three participants, Penyghent Pot became Swinstow pull-through with a side tour up Turbury inlet.
We quickly got down to the split pitch and then down to Turbury inlet where we left out SRT kits and rope for the side trip.
We made our way steadily up to the obstacle which has twice thwarted my through trip. Although I did not get past it, I now know that it is the only really tight bit on the through trip, so I may be willing to push harder next time.
We returned to the bags, donned out SRT kits & completed the through trip to Valley Entrance.

Trip time: About 3.5 hours
Participants: Ros, Stu & Dave.

I like your trip reports Dave, we have a similar approach to narrow bits :-)

About

There are many club organised caving weekends, with a mixture of easy and difficult caving.  Over the past few years we have given lots of people the opportunity to experience caving with our "Try Caving" events.  These are quite popular and quite a few people have subsequently joined the club. We have YSS members caving most weekends so it is easy for new cavers to tag onto the easier caving trips and find people to help with more training.
